As @davidallengreen forcefully argues the Rule of Law is as dependent on our assumptions about it as its actual enforcement;
we expect the law to be upheld even if mostly we just conduct ourselves as if it would be, in extremis, with little experience of it actually being upheld.
The ongoing crisis in the County Court system, which is seeing the enforcement fail for myriad reasons, will thus, in the long term poison the well of our belief in the law!
